Projects The attached sketches are preparation for earth sculptures that represent a mental status. The individual parts are merging, rely and locking each other to one whole who has inert movement, “Note, that the human soul one” has wrote the RaMBaM (a preeminent medieval Jewish philosopher and one of the most prolific and followed Torah scholars and physicians of the Middle Ages).

In the theoretical layer, the works are aiming to deal with the works of the RaMBaM from a Jewish secular point of view: some point of reference in the RaMBam works that inspire the works are: “The only current absolute truth is the god” “The imagination part of the memory” “Denial of degrees” a work that deprives any title (e.g. big, wise, merciful etc.) from a person description, denial of miracles and outer interference of god in the world we know. The whole person is the prophet and its entire being is to know the god – any person can reach to the god knowing level of the prophet and the prophet is a person.
